Dr. Chris Knobbe links the surge in chronic diseases—like obesity and diabetes—to the rise of seed oil consumption. From 1922–1987, obesity rose 600% while seed oil intake jumped from 78 to 497 calories/day. Seed oils damage metabolism, promote inflammation, and are nutrient-poor. Once used as machine oil, they now make up ⅓ of U.S. calories. To avoid them: skip packaged foods, eat whole foods, and cook with healthy fats like butter or olive oil.

Avocados are a powerhouse of nutrients, packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamins E, C, and B6, potassium, and magnesium. They support cardiovascular health, regulate cholesterol, and aid in blood sugar balance. Rich in antioxidants like lutein and glutathione, they protect against oxidative stress and may help prevent neurodegenerative diseases. Their anti-inflammatory properties also promote overall health, making avocados a valuable addition to any diet.
